This week, Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down the Albanese Government's second Budget.
And alongside a surprise $4 billion surplus, it promised $14.6 billion in cost-of-living relief, which the Government claims won't add to inflation. The Opposition and the crossbench have been critical of the measures, so does the Budget provide enough for Australians?
Danielle Wood, CEO of the Grattan Institute joins Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly to crunch the numbers.
